A geographic information system (GIS) is a system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present spatial or geographic data. The acronym GIS is sometimes used for geographic information science (GIScience), which refers to the academic discipline that studies these systems and is a significant domain within the broader field of geoinformatics.

The integration of Python with GIS has significantly expanded over the past two decades, particularly following the introduction of Python 2.0 in 2000. This version included numerous programming enhancements that made the language more accessible and easier to deploy. Since then, Python has been widely adopted not only within commercial GIS platforms such as those offered by Esri but also in open-source environments, including QGIS and GRASS. Today, Python is the most prevalent programming language among GIS users and developers.

This program for government covers the use of Python and advanced libraries like geopandas, pysal, bokeh, and osmnx to implement custom GIS features. It also includes introductory modules on the ArcGIS API and QGIS toolbox, aligning with public sector workflows, governance, and accountability.

A geographic information system (GIS) is a sophisticated tool designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present spatial or geographic data. The term GIS is also used in the context of geographic information science (GIScience), which refers to the academic discipline that studies these systems and is a significant field within the broader domain of geoinformatics.

QGIS functions as comprehensive geographic information system (GIS) software, enabling users to analyze and edit spatial data, as well as compose and export graphical maps. QGIS supports both raster and vector layers; vector data can be stored as point, line, or polygon features. The software accommodates various formats of raster images and includes georeferencing capabilities. In summary, it allows users to create, edit, visualize, analyze, and publish geospatial information on Windows, Mac, Linux, and BSD systems.

This program, in its first phase, introduces the QGIS interface for general usage. In the second phase, we introduce PyQGIS—the Python libraries of QGIS that enable the integration of GIS functionalities into your Python code or applications. This allows users to develop their own Python plugins tailored to specific GIS needs, enhancing capabilities for government and other public sector workflows.

A geographic information system (GIS) is designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present spatial or geographic data. The term GIS is sometimes used interchangeably with geographic information science (GIScience), which refers to the academic discipline that studies these systems. This field constitutes a significant domain within the broader academic discipline of geoinformatics.
